6 Reduce child mortality

Where we are?

Efforts to reducing child mortality rates have been in step with the MDGs. This was demonstrated by the mortality rate of under-five children that went down from 97 (1991) to 44 per thousand live births (2007); the lowered infant mortality rate that went down from 68 to 34 per thousand births; and the lowered neonatal mortality rate that went down from 32 to 19 per thousand births. In the meantime, the proportion of under-1 children that received measles immunization went up from 44.5 percent (1991) to 87.30 percent (2011).
